Engine Information
General Description
This well cared for 1978 Bristol 35.5C (Centerboard) has been a brackish water boat (Chesapeake Bay) most of its life, spending its time both cruising all over with the family and winning the Governor's Cup during her ownership under a racing enthusiast.
AGE OF REASON has had some significant upgrades that a vessel of this age would be envious of (their owners would too!). New Selden Mast and Boom in 2015, Standing rigging was replaced then too, recently the Bimini and dodger were replaced and looks fantastic, and during those hot Chesapeake summers you can stay cool in the AIR-CONDITIONED CABIN (new late last year). If cruising is what you are looking to do, you absolutely should not overlook this Bristol 35.5C. AGE OF REASON has a shallow draft with the lead swing keel up and a 9.5' draft with the centerboard down when blue water cruising. Designed by Ted Hood, the World's premier centerboard designer.
If you are looking for a solid, good looking, blue water sailboat, that won't break the bank and has all the "bling", this is it!
